No, I don't think he could be assured that GF would not be present today and I see your point that he might have been apprehensive about her presence. But the beauty of these proceedings is that in many respects they are about GF and certainly about the benevolence her late husband, but she doesn't have to attend in person to listen to FD! So, IDK if she were there or not or perhaps watched live on video. But my guess is that GF believes her time has more value than spending the day to take a trip to go to Hartford to listen to FD.Yes, I know that. But is he assured of that?
I was just illustrating my point that he is afraid of GF and what she can do to him.
She has been his lifeline and is on the verge of forsaking him.
He is so screwed and he knows it.
She has the kids and the money.
Where does that leave poor Fotis?
At present hunkered down in his foreclosed 10,000 sq ft house wearing an ankle bracelet.
No amount of marble kitchen counters can ease his angst.
MOO.
The only 'gift' FD received in this whole sorry lending relationship with his late FIL was effectively getting charged 3%/yr. interest when if the loans were called what they really were which was investment capital deserving of 'equity type' returns at much much higher rates. 3%/yr is a GIFT for speculative home building operation and FD knew it/knows it IMO. This entire litigation is simply FD abusing the legal system to torture and torment the people that gave him everything that he has IMO.
What I would like to see argued hypothetically would be to recast the entire FIL lending relationship over the years to charge 'interest' along the lines of speculative capital of say 16-20%/yr+. Pick a number in that range or even higher, redo the FORE financials since 2004 and my guess is that most of the so called 'profits' effectively evaporates. FORE operated by virtue of the FIL loans in a world outside of financial reality. FD had the ability to run and operate FORE DUE TO HIS FIL as he most likely could not have qualified for bank financing or equity investment. We have seen delusion in FD on many fronts but its this FORE business front that in my mind simply 'takes the cake'! Sure there was work that was done sitting in the office at 4Jx by FD on FORE, but the business itself would never have existed at any level without FIL financing. To say otherwise IMO is pure delusion!
IMO FIL was effectively subsidizing his daughters husband to provide something for FD to spend his time doing and hopefully to provide a financial foundation for the children or legacy of some sort that could have been built by FD. Instead, what does FD do? We've seen what FD did with FORE, he turned it into a personal 'piggy bank' to allow him to live with MT, continue his lifestyle and continue to torture and torment JD in family court with no financial consequences.
But GF made the switch to the Substitute in this case IMO for a reason. First, the person knew more about her late husbands business affairs and Second, IMO it sent a strong signal to FD that she was done dealing with him. This is overstating it a bit but IMO GF effectively punted the issue of dealing with FD to the very expensive yet still 'hired help'. IMO this sends the clear message that GF isn't wasting one second of her precious time on earth on Fotis Dulos.
Fotis Dulos has no value to GF and IMO she also believes he has no value as a husband, father, provider to his family and by extension as a human being.
In modern vernacular GF executed a perfect legal 'ghosting' of FD!
ETA: FD was forsaken by GF long ago IMO. Good riddance to bad trash is a phrase that comes to mind! The thing though is that there was a point awhile back in 2018 where FD could have charted a different course and made different choices to in effect 'save himself', end the divorce and get on with life. IMO he did the exact opposite and instead lit himself and FORE on fire to burn it all down. Doesn't make logical sense but it seems to be what we are seeing happen live in this case. Not sure why he is doing it all but it must make sense to him on some level. But my guess is that GF doesn't care about FD or why as she has more important things on her mind and places a greater value on her time that spending it having anything to do with FD.
MOO MOO MOO
